omg, OUCH! Mind you, a hernia from coughing isn't all that surprising - I threw my back out from coughing twice, and each time I was prescribed flat-on-my-back bed rest for five days. Whee. (I also had REALLY powerful painkillers for ten days, and it's a good thing I wasn't allowed them for longer. They were very seductive!)

I don't think I knew that your mom dated your original married (double take: MARRIED? Whoa.) PT guy. That drastically increases the weirdness factor of your dream!

See, I just KNEW that the serial killer couldn't be a REAL bad guy, or you wouldn't have been dreaming about him in a wacky adventure romantic comedy type dream. Which then turned into baby!fic. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??
